the, the, the china warns the us against threatening its sovereignty in asia were an increasing number of nations are leaning towards a jang instead of washington. israel braces for conflict with a ron is he has phonic republic vows to avenge the killing of its people by the idea of during a strike in syria. and the gaza is gripped by intense fighting as the war enters the 7th month with no end in sight. it's at least $33000.00 palestinians were ported killed. and so thing is 13000 children. the are watching artsy international. i'm rachel ruble live in moscow. china has warned

v us that it's ready to respond to any threats to its sovereignty in the, in the pacific region. that's after the rival power is held of military talks in hawaii. meanwhile, us treasury secretary, janet yellen, says china will say significant consequences if it's company's help russia and ukraine conflict. american official is in bay jang, where she's already met the countries premier and vice minister ellen's towards having some ed washington's concerns about china's manufacturing over capacity and the cheap exports that america sees as unfair competition. the treasury secretary is also said badging in washington are trying to find common grounds through some tough toxic or by another worrying transferred us as china is rising popularity in southeast asia, which washington considers its own sphere of influence. a notable shift in sentiments china has experienced a surge in popularity among respondents from south east asia climbing from 38.9

percent last year to 50.5 percent this year. edging ahead to become the preferred alignment choice in the region. it's frustrating when you put in the walk, but don't get the results. so shed a tear for washington, which to spend the last 12 months building up the china book. human need find face, things don't scary and off to send its neighbors running because its neighbors are real. a smoke value to logs like those who stokes the corridors of the capital. so they see the us ramping up on supplies to taiwan. they see delegation off the delegation flying in, and they had president bite and promising the tune of american peace. so unlike ukraine to be clear, sir, us forces us men and women would defend taiwan in the event of a chinese invasion. yes, they know the blog post that would inevitably follow. they also know that china is options, largest trading partner, beijing's investments in the region

a growing year on. yes. but every single one of them is a beneficiary of the vote and vote initiative. so china's economic health is that economic health, the us targeting this lifeline by snap be on the terrorists restricting access to might put chips and judging allies to sign onto the china take down. no, quite the winning strategy. and it's really not reassuring when the ideologues to show what lengths del, go to the ken off the competition. this is one of the interesting ideas, isn't flo floated out there for deterrence is just being very clear to the chinese that if you invade taiwan, we're going to blow up t as mc. just throw that out. not because that's necessarily the best strategy for the exam and then, and then of course the highest, the tie want to use really don't like this idea, right? calling up system, see if you do that, you have a to trillion dollar economic impact on the global economy within the 1st year, and you'd put manufacturing around the world at a standstill. i mean,

this would be, this is a terrible idea. i'm not promoting the idea. i'm not promoting the idea michelle saying more, that's what i'm saying is these are some of the things that are actually actively being debated amongst us. yeah. months us policy makers, american foreign policy, is also failing to win out in a region with a large muslim population, which is horrified by washington's by king of israel to the last palestinian plus is 0 sob mentality. one that's on roster will china fails to hit the mark among nations who are traditionally neutral have ties, including military ones that extend way box decades and still believe in diplomacy . the

passion member states including the ceasing and fall, want to maintain good relations with both the us and aging. the one make our strokes. we will refuse the troops. i don't work for amazing. i don't work for washington, dc. i work for the philippines. so i'm on the side of the philippines and the 3 the 10 slates into a very simple statement of foreign policy, which is, and i promote the national interest, but peace is not a classic investment. so the us military base thought, yes. well, in fact, while china has built bridges and railways, washington spent 2023 splashing the cache on yet more basis throughout the asked the on reach and it's funny, isn't it? how rocking off in a neighborhood, far, far away freshening to stop was to grow up the global economy. and why daniel? things are telling everyone to fool in line eventually loses you some good. well,

it took a serial political research or a smell error. mom says washington and its allies are desperately trying to cling onto their waning influence in asia and beyond the teaching that into the format colonial actors of the usa in europe and the existing well, will want to maintain that hasn't been a so it's not easy for them to recognize china is the 1st economy that playing countless games against china, or similarly against russia. though the only military power is in the world that can compare with us, but it serves western interests. they don't recognize any human rights or laws. they provide taiwan when needed, they provide the ukraine russia issue when needed. they provided garza a wide range of different issues as well. so this open the, in the numerous attacks in the israel, how much more welts people felt like a bug care felt helpless. turning it towards china, china is economic cooperation with a huge exist that roger regional integrations are becoming a mutual prejudices,

rehabilitating possible militaristic phase. i think these are also important. on the other hand, i believe turning towards china is a way to balance the us. and i think this is the right way to, i believe china also needs to learn it's less than otherwise from a distance geography. what does the us have to do with the asian pacific? for example, people are asking this, what does it have to do with the situation between the states that because here it seems like holding a referee from a fall when neighbors can't get along. but history shows that when that referee of rice, it will home, both parties, therefore neighboring countries have to get along is running, defense minister says the country is ready to respond to any scenario that manifold with a wrong estimate escalating tensions between the nations following an idea of striking on the radio and consulate in syria, killing 13 people including senior military staff drawn has vowed to take revenge.

authoration is conducted at the right time with precision and prudence, and with the necessary caution to maximize damage to the enemy would definitely lead to its regret and make it repugnant freights actions. this, of course, comes in the wake of monday, strike on the con. see that the rainy and consummate in damascus and syria, and this is a very, very, a momentous event. single country targeting a, another country in a 3rd country it's, it's a significant breach of diplomatic. no one was if you like. so that's the 1st thing to note that this stuff doesn't usually happen. countries don't usually launch strikes on the diplomatic parity of a 3rd country in a 2nd country if you like. so that's a significant thing. the impact of the strike as well is, is interesting to a 7, a senior, a rainy and military officials were killed. in this, 2 of them were a brigadier general's. they were part of the codes force,

which is the foreign operation side of the atlantic. revolutionary guards core, so that's an as each military grouping which works with the rainy and allies and friends. and the chief of staff of the reigning and military has said that a collaboration for one of the, those killed us at the, at this, at that there wouldn't be response and that would happen at when the time was. right. so this is feeding and fueling sense of imminence of, of an attack. now even a tele early, how many the supreme lead, if you like in, in ron has said that would be swift and definite, a response to this. something that's very interesting is that the radiance of actually america is wales biggest out loud and remember american phones and politically supports the way these days to a huge extent. hundreds of billions of dollars up and half the pumped into these very state. most of it in military aid, so without americans support a lot of what is well doesn't the region is doing at the moment thing as what would

be impossible that the radius of i should ask you americans to step aside and let us deal with the ladies in relation to dislike in a written message, these law mac republic of iran warn the us leadership not to get dragged into netanyahu's trap, stay away so you won't get hurt. in response to the us, ask iran not to target american facilities that the americans have said that they expect and a rating response as have these ladies who have suggested in senior is very on american. the face of suggested that they're working together to try to get ahead of whatever this response may be. now, that means it that b is really and the american intelligence services are working for. you just need to find out what exactly the response would be interesting to you, as well as the world watches and wait to see what happens as president biden. and benjamin netanyahu have a phone call this week. the key issue for discussion here has shifted from the the,

the solved and gaza, to how to manage this increasingly dangerous situation in the, in the wide or middle east. and we can actually have a listen to watch at been mean yet. and you have said in the aftermath of that phone call with joe boyd, and i think it's quite tele, across an entry on board. and they've done it for years and run has been acting against us both directly. and while its process is that for israel is acting against the run and its process defensively and defensively, we will know how to defend ourselves. and it will act according to the simple principle of whoever homes us or plants to hom, us little hom, them there is a sense of expectation, not just from the, at the global community that's watching this very nervous and other countries in the region. so do you re, b, a rack? all of these countries watching with a bated breath because it doesn't take much to put you off the powder keg. and what's really fascinating is that in this instance, is both israel,

who is now preoccupied, if to a huge extent, with it's more as it calls it in gaza. it has a huge amount of troops on the lebanese border facing off against hezbollah. he's really military is no exceptionally l if you hired, stretched to accommodate the pressures on as a grade or conflict with the rom could push as well to drastic action. and remember that we know that as well as the noise, it could be in possession of, of significance. the destructive weapon we, let's say, and the world is watching at to see what happens next. the course we'll be watching to, to the international community. we acted swiftly to the deadly is rarely striked. on monday, russia and china expressed concern over the escalating tensions in the region. moscow convened an emergency un security council meeting over the issue, but western powers used the session to try and shift the blame it to a ron. former us marine corps intelligence officer,

scott ritter says the as really prime minister has clearly made a willful decision to escalate the regional conflict. first of all, israel has been striking targets in syria for some time now for the purpose of interdicting iranian capabilities in syria. and so to have such a senior, a rainy and revolutionary guard commander in syria of together with, you know, a country of other persians in one place was, i think, just too tempting of a target for israel. and the fact that they chose to strike a building that is protected under diplomatic convention shows that is real. i no longer cares about the rule of law about international law. and this brings us to the deal. i think there ultimate motive, benjamin danielle, who understands that he is only viable as a leader of israel,

so long as he is in war. uh, he's a wartime leader right now. the moment the current conflict stops, he loses his ability to stay in power. he'll be removed from bower. we're looking at a situation where israel is under tremendous pressure to try and wrap up the, the, the, the conflict and gaza with from us. and israel is looking to expand release benjamin netanyahu. his government is looking to expand his conflict. and therefore, his taking the extraordinarily bold and irresponsible actions in hopes that iran will the flat. he'll find its way to carry out the actions that could be your be getting a larger complex. so i think this is part and parcel. the broader is really strategy of expanding the scope and scale of the conflict in the region. and tense battles are taking place across gaza as the conflict. the enters it's 7th month. israel

declared war on him us after the october 7th, a terrorist attack palestinian officials say more than $33000.00 guidance have been killed since international groups are crying foul over the mandatory and disaster. over half of the world health organizations, mission requests have been denied or delayed by israel. the aid group has now finally gained access to the ruins of the enclave. largest hospital, the w. h. o released footage of what remains of all she for after months of an idea phrase and bombardments, the images show ravaged hospital boards with bodies strewn across the wreckage. following their visit, the members of the un mission referred to the facility as quote, an empty shell with grapes, satellite images of, i'll see if up put the scale of the destruction into perspective world help organizations books 1st, and margaret harris described the hospitalized loss of someone ripping at the heart, out of the regions health care system, access to live saving aiden guys is now confined to just 12 or partially

functioning. hospitals like the majority of the knows our ship a hospital once the largest, the most important referral hospital in gaza is now with them to show off to the late to see no patients remain at the facility. most of the buildings are extensively damaged or destroyed, and the majority of equipment is on usable or reduced to ashes. the who team said that the scale of devastation has left the facility completely non functional. so the reducing access to live saving health care in garza, its international observers have worn that around 70 percent of northern dogs as population are close to experiencing catastrophic hunger. the world food program says $1.00 and $3.00 children is severely malnourished. the one organization is also reported, the number of people facing famine has doubled in the last 2 months while the program is working to provide all possible aid. the guys, it's staff say their own safety is at risk. a law suit for um, has been able here to says 1000000 people every month with food because they

completely depend on us. but we have times is we don't have the necessary security guarantees to work here. the people also need to be safe. so for that, for us to really be able to scale out of verge, simon, so that people don't have to die because they don't have food. we need security guarantees to us as do my parents, but also for the people recess in gaza. hey that they have 3 boys in one girl. they need food. where am i supposed to give them food from? i can't afford to buy food, everything is so expensive and i have no money. local kitchen is our safe place. we come here every day. close to the bus, here we eat, whatever we can find. we eat and we think gods. my biggest tree is that when someone leaves the house, they won't come back again. that's all a cabbage that they come back safely to hand in the west bank 2 people have been

wounded and a shooting attack on a busy highway between a pair of palestinian towns. both victims are now being treated in the hospital. the idea of says its troops have been dispatched to the scene. the highway has been closed off in both directions. according to local medics, bullets were fired at a bus and a car on the road least one suspect proportionally escaped on foot. man hunt is currently underway, we will keep you updated on this developing story. earlier until of the thousands of is really, protestors took to the streets, demanding the prime minister's resignation. one person was arrested for rounding a car into a crowd of demonstrators. the, the, at least 5 people were hurt in the incident which took place as they were heading home from the raleigh police officers managed to stop and arrest the driver who was

later identified as a former footballer and. 1 his motives have not yet been revealed. earlier, thousands rallied to call on benjamin netanyahu to step down over his failure to return all hostages from gaza. at least 130 people have been held by him off since october 7th. israel has been rejecting the proposed terms of a new swap, steel, some of the relatives of the insect. these say the government has failed them to manage to survive 3 months in captivity. he should have been with us today. he could have been with us today and we demand, they wanted to do anything to make these to come to and bring them all back home. for shame were still the prime minister. i think you should resign off the 6 months ago. there was installed the mouse and everything,

the claim that the ones to go to may come up, go away and bring all those suggest. unfortunately, it didn't that you know to the dispatcher to from of christy level 100. 33 also just got the whole thing. i hope that all the this sunday marks 30 years sense the start of the to see genocide in rwanda that saw more than 800000 people killed human rights watch. says francis support for the government of rolanda and the atrocities in 1994 was quote, tantamount to direct the participation in the war. the activist group posted that

conclusion as it released archives in an effort to raise global awareness and enduring lesson from the genocide as the international communities. failure to take heed of the clear signs that preparations for mass atrocities were underway, including warnings from human rights defenders who put their lives on the line to sound the alarm. despite the passage of time, victims deserve to see those responsible for genocide and other crimes arrested and prosecuted in fair incredible trials for yes, could assume. so this has been that to major international actors, policy makers in the u. s. and the u. n. o understood the gravity off the one to genocide within the 1st 24 hours, even if they could not have predicted the mass of told at the slow task would eventually take. but aside from that, there's also phones and the he didn't rolly played in the genocide. a press advisory by the human rights watch arms project reiterates the january 1994 reports conclusions,

including the francis support to the government of rwanda was tantamount to direct participation in the war and calls on french troops deployed to rolanda as part of an evacuation force to be replaced with neutral forces from other countries. globally, historians have spent the last few years poring over government archives to come at to cables and military falls. the conclusion for on this was not directly complicit in the one does mass killings, but french or thought to supported the violent and extreme is government. they were blind to its preparation for the mess. okay. and reacted to slowly to stop the genocide. some argue that this means power was therefore based overcoming responsibility for the tragedy. something is slats out of retreats through london. crisis ended in disaster for rwanda and, and to feed for france. but as france complicit in the genocide of the tutsis, if this means a willingness to be associated with the genocidal enterprise, nothing in the archives consulted proves that efforts to improve relations with the

one that president and money on my crime, commission den investigation and opened the archives to the public. no smoking gun was found proving differential villages direct involvement. the killers installed the swamps, the hills, the churches did not have the face of france. france was not gonna accomplish. but some of those to survive the horrors of the genocide, unconvinced and relieved. disappointed by the french findings, even the very man who lived to the rebellion, but in the small town as regularly accused fronds of complicity in the crimes 20 years later. the only thing you can say against the french in their eyes is they didn't do enough to save lives during the genocide. that's a fact, but it hides the main point, the direct role of belgium and france and the political preparation of the genocide and the participation of the letter. and it's very execution people. sol came from this was not only involved in the vin spin passivity but actually enabled genocide to read support for the who to receive before during and after the killings between

19901994. it is true that one that was in the state of the economy, social and political turmoil, and that to the international community was reluctant to come to age. how is lost the complicity of ad this does not to the gates. the great responsibility of funds was close partnership allowed to profit from alms deals and strategic positioning. what happened into one that was more than a crime. it was an event, so that seemed to mandatory let's discuss this further now with connelly's human rights advocate come volley. most of all the come volley presidents, a menu of my crohn, has admitted that france failed to stop the rwandan genocide in 1994. but he refuses to admit that parents played any sort of direct role in the mastercard. ringback thoughts on that position by the french president. it would be very hard to try to defend france, any sections or in the genocide. i mean,

the human beings where it kill me, you know, so it kills. but i think we're supposed to be think goes beyond just a france. i'm in the for those are for. ready what happened during the run, the genocide in 1994, the united studies have to get it as well. what i've noticed, frustrated to here is to speak more of french ro, uh, the, the french people as role rather than the united states role. and i'll be very direct on this for example, months before the genocide, either us security council, the us urge the un troops to be we've dropped to in terms of the present, the numbers and the we're already every indication that the genocide was going to take place in orlando that was criminal, i mean, do you says be clearly documented? why will do you? madison wants to have the less un troops inside the run that prior to april 1994. be on that. i want to speak about the, even though those are to power book i me and then use military force. but they had

supports of the united states because they were coming as you kind of soldiers equipped find this and trained by the united states. uh, great stanton, the former state department official who now works for genocide. watch in the enters you you gave for the door to mentor. request is in the congo. well disgusting. the run down to the side and the stick left on bill clinton when he visited a run to the 1998 saying that he did not know the gravity of what took place this the popular and this former state department official, at least for me, said that bill paid them, it was like that he actually knew. so he's not just friends, so united i'm using to that out. so the international community was very clear that inside the rhonda i that's fine. there were a human beings to it says wellbeing massacres. and up 2600002800000,

depending on where you read. okay, where my 2nd thought x a y, and responsibility doesn't just stop with frank. ok. a come by. we did have the so called the bill clinton apology in which he visited bewanda in 1998th and admitted that america failed to respond to the rwandan genocide. as far as of france though, micron has fallen short of saying that, sorry, he says he doesn't agree the parents owes the victims in apology. do you think that in that apology would, would suffice? and why do you think that my con will not apologize to oppose the less effects what is needed? it's justice in rhonda today 30 years after the run the genocide, the 2nd element that caused the gymnast 99 before he still presents that. what is needed beyond the apology from france is one because of the s. and we've seen the run that those war one, the able to more for the loved ones to more for example, the one that,

that we know that the media up to a 1000000 people. what am i speaking mostly to tease etc rod. now those last, if i mean the members while not duties with him or their families spread, even though they weren't killed in the war, there were mess occurred in the, the, in the same way. so the issue we've been around is important. the 2nd thing that's more important that the apology for my call is for one of those we have left the country to return to the country. so for example, there wasn't jealous in 1994 of a 1200000 run does cross the border. many of them for us, the water into the cold, right? they went in as or for cheese, up up here today. many of them have no return to run that they still afraid to return. and they're not being willing, this from the run, the government to reply treats that on citizens. and 3rd, beyond the apology, the expressing this extra, so the run them government, we being the coma and the rich. i shall be stuck with the mustang. but that since

1996 combo has received a ripple effect on the one bench at a site where run that, are you going to evade of the condo? and that is alisha. that's both over 6000000 coal release, people, suspense, united, 6, which is over 6 times the run of the show side. not us. that is actually something that needs to be the pressure either to be as they called out, be see the patient before the apology. yes, france has a role to play. yes, the united states has a role to play, but we also have to look up our act is something that's a lot the specific can on the president of the 30 years to fund the lead us topic. pressing his people and opening up space so that we do not have another genocide 30 years after. so. so what do you think the african country can do to push for accountability to ensure that it does not? nothing like this happens again. it is happening as we speak or in the, the or c. now, to just mention,

over 6000000 people have died. we have run the less of those old 1994 where oppressive regimes a given center supports from world nations or for even the reason. so as we speak today, the president, i'll run that you've done the supported not just by the western nations. well on the i forget concept of african union is the holding them accountable. so there was in the combo for example. so we have not learned that whenever we have the soapbox strong man, we've military power backed, finally made by the western nations, the oldest and the we populations dying. so what they can do is uh from the plan that a share is building pressure on these nations specifically around them that you've done that. then in the case of rwanda was opening up political space, the rhonda so that people can speak freely. i leave freely be about few making sure

the run the free. she's actually returned.
